On November 5, Women’s Learning Partnership (WLP) joined artists, activists, and movement leaders from around the world at the Second Global Artivism Convening in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, one of the most vibrant cultural capitals of the African diaspora.
Across generations, women have shouldered the burden of care responsibilities. Whether single, married, with or without children, women are the ones cooking, cleaning, caring for loved ones, and holding communities together. This work sustains our families and our societies, yet most of it remains unpaid, unseen, and undervalued.
WLP partner Bir Duino Kyrgyzstan, a leading human rights organization, has issued a strong call to the Government of Kyrgyzstan to reject recent proposals to reinstate the death penalty.
The daily labor of nurturing, cleaning, teaching, and sustaining families and communities usually falls on women. Care work is the foundation of every economy, yet often remains undervalued, underpaid, and invisible.
